I would be interested in a Winged Unicorn/Pegasus hybrid Skyscale Mount skin

I like some of the Unique mount skins like the Humming Bird for Skimmer and the Deer for Jackal.

Next I would like a Unicorn/Pegasus hybrid for a Skyscale Mount skin.
not sure if some special effects could also be a thing. Maybe since there is already a fire effect skyscale. But a Running on a beam of light animation, when flying, for this would seal the deal for me.

Sure as long as they also add the ability for the client to show all mounts not summoned by you in their default skins.

If you want to get rid of all the visual clutter, turn your settings down. I have had to because I have had to use my old computer, which can't handle the graphics, while my new one is in the shop. Everyone player and their weapons in in default-default mode except me. All I usually see is some auras.

I'm so tired of this tacky, sparkly fever dream that Anet is feeding. It's ugly. It's jarring. And don't even get me started when I play with my color blind friend and she has to stop altogether because the plethora of colors and effects makes her frustrated.

I would like to see an asura-built contraption, like the huge flashy glider-chair. The wall-clinging could be done with some sort of robotic arms grasping the rockwall, while the contraption accumulates energy again. Does it fit the "Lore" or reality? Look around in the game and you will know my answer. It's a game and my motto is not Learn to Play, but Learn to Ignore (and enjoy what you enjoy).

I also love many of the sugggestions in the thread: Pegasus, Bats, huge Moths, I think they all have a chance to be the next moneymaker for Anet.

Have no horses in your game but introduce a pegasus. It's a genius move.

Well there's already centaurs, which get compared to horses, and references to unicorns so a pegasus doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.

(There's also one horse in the game, but he lives in The Mists...and is invisible.)

I would be content with a skyscale skin that looks like a dragon. The only skin that looks like a dragon is shimmerwing, i guess thats why it sells so well. But there are many kinds of dragons aside from fairy dragons, for example game of thrones has beautiful ones which are not fairy dragon themed.

What's the difference between a skyscale and a dragon to you? Of course there's huge variations in what dragons look like, but I doubt you could show a skyscale to anyone who doesn't play GW2, ask them what it is and get any answer except dragon. If I drew a dragon it would have a longer face and probably not forward facing horns, but those are fairly minor details.

Didn't want to sound so straightforward, but skyscale looks like the offspring of a dragon, a gargoyle and some large bird. In all variations dragons tend to have a longer face. It depends which part of the skyscale do I show to people who don't play GW2. If I showed only the head, neck and the shoulders, maybe some people may not know what it is. But yes, if I showed the rest of its body then nobody has a doubt they are looking at a dragon.

Not all dragons look like European dragons, but european style dragons are the most popular which is sad. Theres -tons- of artwork out there of dragons that dont have that facial structure.. Then again How to Dragon is probably the most popular dragon themed movie at the moment and it is loaded down with dragons that dont have the structure at all include Nightfury. To be honest if you showed me just the head neck and shoulders of anything reptilian id either assume its a dragon -or- a Lizan, its just a safe guess.

I don't think its a geographical thing. google Chinese dragons, American dragons ( I think Game of thrones is American?), whichever dragons you can google and they all have long faces.

Don't forget that the story in Dragonfall explains that the Skyscale is related to Dragons, but doesn't have their destructive behaviour.
Therefore, the need to come up with a model that suits a mount and looks powerful, can be tamed, but without the mindless will and crave for destruction.

Skyscale looks fine to me.
Just wish there was a skin with foward-curved horns.

On a side note:
It looks like a fusion between a Welsh Dragon and perhaps a Romanian Dragon.

My point was while theres a ton of artwork with the standard dragon theres also tons without those features. the term"dragon" has evolved to be just any great lizard(or in some cases amphibians? seen some weird ones.). Some of the ones in monster hunter are skyscale like too. Im not against getting some more "standard" looking dragon appearances for the skyscale, but having a dragon look different from the norm is actually nice.

The legendary longbow was enough of a scar on this game

I believe the weapon you are referring to is a short bow.

The one that shoots rainbows and unicorns

Yep, that's the Gen 1 legendary short bow (The Dreamer). The longbow is Kudzu, which looks like green flowering vines and fires glowing yellow arrows.
